All right...its the moment you've all been waiting for...the beta version of
WebView 2.1i. The 'i' stands for "internet", because now you can get on the
'Net with this version of WebView.
I really shouldn't have to write a long winded manual (I don't want to
either...). Here is what you have to do to install it...
1. Run the LibInstall program
2. Edit the Preferences File
Editing the preferences file is easy. Its put into Envarc:webview.prefs.
You just need a text editor (Ed will be fine). Here is what it'll look
like, and what you put in where...
WebHead.font/32
WebHead.font/24
WebHead.font/21
WebHead.font/17
WebHead.font/15
WebHead.font/12
Webtext.font/15
Webfixed.font/15
WHITE
BLACK
RED

The first eight lines are the WebCleaner fonts, done by Andrew Graham. You can
change these to any fonts you wish, in the format <fontname>.font/size. The
next three are Default Paper color, Text color, and Link color. Then, if the
next line is LACED, WebView will be interlaced. DON'T DO THIS ON OS3.1! The
next line is the Start Page, then SMTP server, SMTP Domain, and EMail address.
The last two are Cache Drawer and (not working yet) Default Save Drawer.
Why no snazzy interface? I have one done, its just that the driver for
Intuition Interfaces for Amos doesn't like it too well. Its really good,
though. When it works.
Then, just start up WebView. You don't need to be connected to the 'Net to use
it...remember, it used to be an offline page viewer. The buttons and areas on
the screen are easy:
Title Bar Moves WebView back and Intuition forward
Buttons:
First Load a Local Page
Second Reload the Current Page
Third Quit WebView
Fourth Access History/Cache Pages
Fifth Save current page
Memory Gauges Type in a destination address
Slider on the
Right Look up/down page
Zoom Gad on
Bottom Change to non/interlaced
If you do want to get on the 'Net, though, I'd be careful. WebView is buggy
buggy buggy when on the 'Net. Forms work, though. That's good. Well, enjoy!
And, if you do want to tell me your $.02 about WebView, write me at
